Bosnia-Herzegovina vs North Macedonia

In front of 30,000 fans at Sarajevo's Asim Ferhatović Hase, Bosnia & Herzegovina and North Macedonia played out a disciplined, goalless pre-tournament friendly. Despite the hosts creating the better opportunities — three shots on target to the visitors' one — neither side could find the net. The match produced no goals, penalties, or red cards, keeping the occasion relatively low-key. The one moment of drama came when North Macedonia's Ezgjan Alioski picked up a yellow card in the 78th minute. Both benches were busy throughout, with Bosnia & Herzegovina ringing in seven changes to assess their squad depth ahead of the summer. For Bosnia & Herzegovina, the draw is a minor footnote on the road to the World Cup — a tournament they return to after more than two decades away. North Macedonia, who fell short in qualifying, used the occasion to test combinations ahead of Nations League duties resuming in September.
